Launched on 11 October 2022 by the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security. The stay is six months. It is not renewable, a new application is allowed only 12 months after the previous visa expires, and the visa cannot be changed to another status. The applicant must work remotely for a company or clients outside Namibia, as an employee, freelancer or self-employed person. The income floor is USD 2,000 a month for the applicant, USD 1,000 a month for an accompanying spouse and USD 500 a month for each accompanying child. There is no separate annual test; USD 24,000 is twelve times the monthly floor. A six-month bank statement is also required. The fee on the program page is N$3,300, about USD 198 at the 9 October 2026 mid-market rate of 16.64 Namibian dollars per US dollar. That page says the fee is required on approval, that it is paid before arrival or by a local representative to the ministry, and, in the application steps, that it is paid on arrival. After payment the ministry issues a loose entry visa. The fee line is on the applicant checklist only. Health or travel insurance, a medical certificate, a radiological report and a police clearance from the country of origin, in English, are required. Copies of qualifications are on the applicant list, but no degree is specified. Accommodation is not a listed document. Local employment is not allowed. Namibia taxes income earned in Namibia. Foreign-source income is outside that tax. The visa page does not say whether work performed while the holder is physically in Namibia counts as Namibian-source. There is no nomad tax rate and no day-count that switches the holder to worldwide taxation.

   per-dependent income cleared. The page adds USD 1,000 a month for a spouse and USD 500 a month for each child, so a single USD 500 figure was wrong (https://www.nipdb.com/digital-nomad-visa).
